AUDIO: A DISCO MIRROR BALL WILL REPEL FLIES
Here’s a question that popped up on the internet: Does using a disco ball to repel flies work? Pest control experts says yes, in the right setting. They say flies mostly rely on light and reflection for navigation, so a spinning mirror ball may disorient them. It doesn’t harm them, but if it irritates them enough they may avoid the area. It is said to work best on decks, patios, and barns. They say place it somewhere bright and sunny to capture and reflect the light.
* It’s also a known fact that flies hate the Bee Gees.
* It repels them because flies are known to prefer cool jazz over disco music.
* A disco ball may repel houseflies, but it actually attracts barflies.
* I find a disco ball works really well, along with a can of Raid.
